About the Chronic Complaints Against JACL

In spite of the many bene­Ilts and privileges gained by the J ACL for the Ni sei in general. there bave .been chronic com­pleinls. There are discontents and dissatisfactions and gloomy minds mistakenly think t.hey see a break­ing down 01 the organiz3ljon.

1n one sense discontent is a good tb .ng. It .s the opposile o( self­,atisraction. It is a good thing to appreciate that we have not done

our best and then try to do -il _ .. But there is another kind 01 discontent, born of an inclinatio.n to jeaiousy and envy, tbal seek~ not to repair its mistakes nor te· profit by Its failures nor to bund uP. but to tear down . _ .

. .. in these discontents, there Is a menace to the security oj the Nisei. Tbey a ftord <lpportuni­ties for the demagogue . But glory to the' seriQus-minded !'Jisei.

We'll say the name I. " am • . rt could s tand ler Yamacruchl, YiI­mashlta, Yamampto, Yamauchi He had stopped by the local pub a couple evenings in a row aIter an absence that could al­mosi be measured in yea"

1t was good to sec old lriend Yama again-we hadn'l swapped any conver,ation in such a lonl' lime, and now something would be added to the relaxation 01 the loamy ritual tha .epar.I", the work-aoday mono ton v of the salt mines from the 'Ieisurely creative hours.

"On vacation, Yarna"'" Vie put out a tentative feeler. No, n~th.

ing like that. -'Will' awav"" If it was a gucss, it was a' wrong guess. And from there Ihe talk drifted back to. the old old time" after sketohlly covering more re­eent events Ilke who had d~.

parted this green carth since we had last met. Like the two ~I).ion

oWelals who. gave SCQres or Nisei a big as>ist as they came back from evacuation.

Around lIurty years ago \\ as when people were really scratch­ing to keep their heads above water. universal discriminatio.n and prejudice was painCuLJ>- co"'· monplacze, and in relating some of his experiences in trying to find just a job ot any kind, he said, "You know, that's some­thing 1 think you should writc up more in that PC column or yours. the hudreds of absurd insults and rejections a YABO used to get."

Well, we could not Quite agree to taking orr on such a course, and oprned that more construc­tive an attitude Is more appro­priate since the situation is so greatly changed, and as a job se!!ker It's frequently an assel to be a Nisei.

Yama reflected on th.1 one a HtUe bit and then came back with the rejoinder that mmority people still have a lot o( t"",'bl" attending schools of their cboice, and by g{)sh it reminded .,im of the lime when as a firsl grader, the PTA had wanted '0

kick him out or an all-white school.

Well. now that sounded interest· ing, altho.ugh not a bit Ilke OJr impressions of PTA policy-the story might make an In teres ling oddity on its own merits, but not as a beer.

" We lived way down south, and it was really a larming commu­nity out there by the Seattle

city limits Came the lime the <chODI year Wa, about to start, myoid man ;sld the Ume had come for me to go to . chool and get an "ducat!on. So he took me to the school, lound the fin' grade room, dumped me there with my lunch, ond took "rr The onJy hitch wa. thai I knew only the Japanese that wa il~~k,~n around home_ '0 Eng·

So, as Yama told It. alter couple hours of trying to catch on, the teacher turned the cia" loo$e. He didn't know It wa< only 10 :30 recess so he headed right (or home, The old m .• n was ruriou>--ordered him righl back to school with the advice that the nexI break would be lor eating lunch. But wben 2 p.m recess time came, Yama headed straigbt ror home agam, and was promptly ordered right b.ck to the seat o( learning. It was a ""ugh first day. with school bemg a couple miles a way. or a t least. It seemed like it. and most 01 the first day was spent tramping back and'orth_

And Yama went on: "You know, my dad wasn't kidding ,bout this going to school busi­ness-that was the year 01 a big snow, '21. I guess. In the morning, he packed me to school on .his back, dumped me dowr on the school yard. and a t the last bell, was tbere to carry me home again."

As can be rea(Uty understood. the odd ball speechless kid with the odd features sutlered plenty of taunts-and got in plenty 01

By "Amellieon Citizen", Chuman means Ihat NiseI DS cItizens 01 the community "n e e d not be shackled by Interests of problems purely Japanesc". Chumnn plae~. fundamental impOrt..nce on the meaninlt o( "cItizenshIp". lI.\d II Is in this dIrection Ihal the whole organiZAtion must go.

Last week at the West Los Angeles J ACL Jnstallatlon dinner· dance, Chuman who llrew up In the saIDe neighborhood as the 1961 West L.A. chapter president Aklra Ohno repeated he would cali the roll of tbe chapters at the 1002 national convention In Seattle to see how many mcmbers are reg­Istered voters.

"I want every member 10 be a reglslered votCI'," Chuman ex· claimed, "because Its exercise is a basic right. ..

"1( we mean what we say Ithal Nisei are American cItIzens 01 Japanese ancestry). let's be Amer­icans and be regIstered to vole," he added.

At previous occasions, ChOman had noted that local polilicians know how many Nisei voters reside In Iheir district because of their names are easHy recognizable on the rolls. The list of voters is a matter of public record and acces· sible to anyone for Inspection.
